View Full Version : Really long lookup list...

So in my everlasting quest to create the perfect dynamic block of standard windows in elevation, my current plan involves adding a lookup for every standard window size available for my Marvin double-hung window block. This is 117 windows, and I'm wondering what will happen if the list is longer than the screen is tall. Any experience with this?

Okay so I'm impatient. When you make a lookup list longer than the screen is tall, it puts arrows at the top and/or bottom of the list. Not mouse-wheel scrollable, and it's probably the clunkiest way we've seen for accessing long lists, but we're familiar and at least it's something. Now, it only shows about 60 items, so it's up to the individual to decide whether it's user-friendly enough to actually use. I don't really plan on using it that much; I wanted to be able to mostly choose the size of the window by stretching, and then have the properties dialog box tell me what Marvin unit I'm using so I can pop it quickly into a window schedule. I'll post the revised version when I complete it.

It's a real pain if you have a long lookup list, but if you go into the Properties dialogue, towards the bottom, you will see the same lookup list as a pull down which is a lot easier to scroll through.

It would be nice if you could scroll properly through the list on screen though.
